In no language does the pronoun 'she' stand for human beings of both sexes. "

"That women, in the same measure as men, should be able to fulfill their individuality is, of course, a radical idea. It is in this form, for better and for worse, that the traditional feminist call for justice for women has come to seem most plausible."

Beauty-as photographed in the mainstream tradition that prevailed until recently-blurred women's sexuality.
